Hi guys,
As the title says, I'm experiencing atrociously bad FPS (27 in the options menu, 20 in marine spawn, 15 in the alien spawn, less than 10 in a fight), frequent freezes and frequent crashes, as well as the occasional garbled audio. I have every possible option set to lowest, I turned off multithreading (and then switched it back on as it had no effect), I even switched my desktop environment to LXDE to maybe eke out a few more frames, to no avail.
I can run Metro: Last Light at a playable framerate, and every other game in my steam library perfectly. At this point, all I can think of is that Unknown World's OpenGL implementation is less than ideal.

Nvidia driver version: 331.20
Graphics card: GeForce GT540m (using nvidia-prime to avoid optimus craziness)

EDIT: Oh god how could I have missed it... I managed to get it up to 50 FPS on the marine side and 30 FPS on the alien side with a single change to nvidia-settings: Under "OpenGL Settings", switching to slider all the way from "High Quality" to "High Performance". When the hell did I do that? I don't remember doing it... Anyways, my utmost apologies.

I tried 331.20 earlier and was having LOTS of crashing issues. I did notice that I got an increase of 10 FPS in the menu though which is a good sign.
I've just rolled back to 319.32 (recommended driver for Mint 16 - 64bit)
Then I think the game need more optimization for Linux!
Played 6h yesterday.
